Has an uncommon mix of size, skill, and athleticism: can legitimately play anywhere from shooting guard to power forward. A very good rebounder. Very well-rounded: will block shots, hit threes, and take care of the ball. Able to carry his team as a scorer for stretches.

Flaws:

Can be streaky and prone to injuries, factors that often conspire to keep him fulfilling his impressive potential. Has the tools to pass the ball more. Gets inconsistent at times from the 3-point arc.

Career Potential:

Star-level swingman with consistency issues.

Denver small forward Wilson Chandler will have an uncertain role entering the season.

He is the backup to Danillo Gallinari, but with Gallinari's injury history, Chandler could see extended time. However, with Gallo looking good during the preseason, we cannot reccomend even a late-round pick on Chandler.

News

Wilson Chandler played through his groin injury on Tuesday and had seven points, six rebounds and a 3-pointer on 3-of-7 shooting.

Impact

If he's not 100 percent, it's easy to see him sitting out in Wednesday's finale, and Evan Fournier (9 points on 3-of-10 shooting) could step up if Chandler is out.

Wilson Chandler traveling, expected to play | 04/14/2014 4:35 PM

News

Wilson Chandler is traveling with the team and is expected to play against the Clippers on Tuesday.

Chris Dempsey on Twitter

Impact

It was a surprise to see him in the lineup on Saturday, but he did leave the game with another injury and did not return. Chandler is likely looking at a game-time call and we probably won't know much until Tuesday night. There are only two games on Tuesday, so owners in daily leagues certainly should gamble on Chandler. Evan Fournier takes a hit.

Wilson Chandler scores nine, but leaves game | 04/13/2014 12:50 AM

News

Wilson Chandler hit 3-of-7 shots for nine points, two rebounds, two assists, two steals, a block and a 3-pointer in 21 minutes on Saturday in his return from a groin injury, but left the game and didn't return.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Not only did he leave the game, but he also left the bench and went to the locker room, presumably for treatment on his groin. And with nothing left to play for, signs are pointing to Chandler's season being over. Evan Fournier and Randy Foye look like strong plays the rest of the way, if that's the case.

Surprise: Wilson Chandler available to play | 04/12/2014 7:44 PM

News

Wilson Chandler (groin) is available to play against the Jazz on Saturday.

Chris Dempsey on Twitter

Impact

There has been very little information on Chandler for the past week, so this is a huge surprise. There's been even less detail as how he's looked in practice, so we'd guess he's going to be limited tonight. Unless you're cutting someone with little value, we'd probably to see how Chandler looks tonight before making a move to add him.

Wilson Chandler (groin) won't play Wednesday | 04/09/2014 2:01 PM

News

Wilson Chandler (groin) won't play on Wednesday and it's uncertain if he'll return this season.

Chris Dempsey on Twitter

Impact

Chandler is being encouraged to play by coach Brian Shaw, but he may not risk a setback with only a handful of games remaining in a lost season. Fill-in starter Quincy Miller had a breakout game on Sunday and will look to make it two in a row vs. the Rockets.

No return date for Wilson Chandler (groin) | 04/05/2014 10:56 AM

News

Nuggets coach Brian Shaw said there is "no change" in Wilson Chandler's status as he returns from a left groin injury.

Denver Post

Impact

Chandler has missed seven games, allowing Quincy Miller to take over the starting SF job, and it's fair to question whether he'll return this season. With a 33-43 record and only six games left on the schedule, Denver may opt to rest him as they look ahead to next season -- Chandler should still be on the team, as he's owed a guaranteed $6.8 million.

Wilson Chandler out again, as expected | 04/02/2014 8:58 PM

News

Wilson Chandler (groin) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, as expected.

Jimmy Smith on Twitter

Impact

Chandler has openly discussed the possibility of shutting it down for the season if his groin doesn't show improvement soon. The Nuggets are starting Ty Lawson, Randy Foye, Quincy Miller, Kenneth Faried and Timofey Mozgov.

Wilson Chandler (groin) out vs. Memphis | 03/31/2014 1:53 PM

News

Wilson Chandler (groin) will sit out again on Monday, allowing Quincy Miller to start at SF vs. the Grizzlies.

Chris Dempsey on Twitter

Impact

Evan Fournier, Randy Foye and Aaron Brooks also pick up extra opportunities with Chandler on the sidelines, and it's unclear if or when he might return this season. Q-Miller scored only two points in 24 minutes on Friday and shouldn't be viewed as a reliable option even while he's in the starting lineup.

Wilson Chandler listed as out for Friday | 03/28/2014 2:12 PM

News

Wilson Chandler (groin) is listed as out for Friday's game vs. the Spurs.

Chris Dempsey on Twitter

Impact

This will be the fourth game out of the lineup and he might be done for the year. Evan Fournier is going to have to slide over to the three while Randy Foye has also seen time at small forward because that's how thin the Nuggets are right now. Basically, Aaron Brooks, Foye and Fournier are all options in daily leagues tonight.

Wilson Chandler (groin) out again Wednesday | 03/26/2014 1:07 PM

News

Wilson Chandler (groin) is out again on Wednesday and he has no clear return date.

Chris Dempsey on Twitter

Impact

Beat writer Chris Dempsey speculates that the Nuggets might soon consider shutting him down for the season, which makes sense since Denver isn't going anywhere this season and they're invested in Chandler's long-term health (he's owed $6.8 million next season with a partial guarantee in 2015-16). There's no reason to hang onto him in fantasy leagues.

Wilson Chandler appears to be out on Monday | 03/24/2014 6:38 PM

News

Coach Brian Shaw said he will start Quincy Miller at small forward on Monday which means Wilson Chandler (groin) is likely out.

Anthony Slater on Twitter

Impact

Chandler sat out on Sunday and continues to suffer injures to his lower half. We'll pass along the official word, but for now it seems like he's not going to play since he is really needed in the starting lineup and bring him off the bench makes little sense. Fantasy owners can look to cut him in a do-or-die situation.

Wilson Chandler out Sunday w/ strained groin | 03/23/2014 4:24 PM

News

Wilson Chandler (strained groin) will not play on Sunday, shifting Anthony Randolph into the Nuggets' starting lineup.

Denver Nuggets on Twitter

Impact

With J.J. Hickson (torn ACL) done for the season, Randolph and Jan Vesely should both get solid playing time on Sunday. Whether or not Randolph will have value in Denver's upcoming three-game week depends mainly on Chandler's health, and we'll pass along all updates as they become available. Considering how easy it is to aggravate groin strains, and the fact that Chandler just returned from a hip injury, it wouldn't be surprising to see him out again on Monday.

Chandler returns from hip injury on Friday | 03/22/2014 2:02 AM

News

Wilson Chandler (hip) returned to action in Friday's loss to the Mavs, scoring six points on 3-of-6 shooting with four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 31 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

The scoring is a problem but at least he contributed elsewhere while his offense was on pause. We're more inclined to cut him slack tonight knowing that the injection he received could easily have had lingering effects, but overall he profiles as a shutdown risk and if you're staring at a hot free agent we wouldn't fault you for rolling the dice. Just know that he could start putting up serviceable numbers in a game or two.

Wilson Chandler (hip) probable vs. Mavericks | 03/20/2014 3:41 PM

News

Wilson Chandler (hip) is probable for Friday's game in Dallas.

Chris Dempsey on Twitter

Impact

He got a precautionary day off on Wednesday following an injection in his hip, and there's still cause for concern from a fantasy perspective -- he's averaging a mere 12.5 points on 40.0 percent shooting over Denver's past four games, with 1.8 threes, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and zero steals to his credit. Evan Fournier should head back to the bench upon Chandler's return.

Wilson Chandler got an injection in his hip | 03/19/2014 4:02 PM

News

Wilson Chandler recently received an injection in his hip.

Denver Post

Impact

It's a maintenance issue for Chandler, not a true injury. But the key is that two days of rest is mandatory following the injection, which leaves him very questionable for Friday. Chandler did say the absolute latest he'd return to the court is Sunday afternoon against the Wizards. Evan Fournier is tentatively expected to start at small forward in the meantime.

Wilson Chandler (hip) out vs. Detroit on Wed. | 03/19/2014 1:29 PM

News

Wilson Chandler will not play vs. the Pistons on Wednesday due to a hip injury.

Raj Sharan on Twitter

Impact

Chandler seemed fine over his past two games, averaging 11.5 points in 31 minutes per contest, but guys like Quincy Miller, Evan Fournier and Darrell Arthur will have to step up in his absence vs. the Pistons. Denver plays two more times this week and Chandler should be considered questionable for Friday's road game in Dallas.

Wilson Chandler on a roll, scores 21 points | 03/12/2014 10:59 PM

News

Wilson Chandler played 31 minutes against the Magic during Wednesday's 120-112 win, scoring 21 points with 10 boards and three 3-pointers on 8-of-17 from the field.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

It's his second double-double in the month and he's back to putting up big numbers. In his previous six games since returning from a knee injury, Chandler averaged 17.0 points, 5.5 boards, 2.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.3 triples. The percentages won't be there, but he's a must-own player while he's healthy.

Wilson Chandler scores 25 points vs. Wolves | 03/04/2014 12:12 AM

News

Wilson Chandler attempted a whopping 11 attempts from 3-point range on Monday vs. the Wolves, making two of them on his way to 25 points, 10 boards, two assists and one steal in 38 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

While he couldn't hit many shots from deep, Chandler did well inside the arc with a shooting line of 9-of-11 from that range. His knee issue seems to be behind him and his 38 minutes tonight were his highest since Jan. 19. He's made over 2.0 triples per game in each of his last two months and is worth owning in all standard leagues.

Wilson Chandler plays 34 minutes, scores 14 | 03/02/2014 12:58 AM

News

Wilson Chandler (knee) played 34 minutes in a return from a one-game absence on Saturday, scoring 14 points with three boards, three assists and two 3-pointers during a 102-92 loss to the Blazers.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He's not usually the type of player who rests for just one game, so it was nice to see him back already. Chandler's hamstring and hip problems have cost him time this season and he remains a bit risky. His fantasy owners should still expect production out of him as long as he's able to avoid street clothes on game nights.

Wilson Chandler (knee) OK at shootaround | 03/01/2014 2:22 PM

News

Wilson Chandler (sprained knee) looked good during Saturday's shootaround, clearing the way for a possible return vs. Portland.

Chris Marlowe on Twitter

Impact

Evan Fournier played heavy minutes as a starter on Thursday but he'll head to the bench if Chandler is indeed ready to return. Quincy Miller's playing time would also take a hit, but before setting lineups owners should wait for the final word from Denver -- it appears Chandler may be headed for a game-time decision.

Wilson Chandler (knee) expected out Saturday | 03/01/2014 11:14 AM

News

Wilson Chandler (sprained knee) is expected to miss another game on Saturday.

Denver Post

Impact

The Nuggets have ruled out any damage beyond a simple sprain, but Chandler couldn't even make it through shootaround on Thursday and it sounds like he'll pick up another DNP vs. the Trail Blazers. Evan Fournier started in his absence on Thursday and would likely do so again, making him an interesting short-term option for points, 3-pointers and a handful of rebounds.

Chandler originally injured the knee during Tuesday's loss to the Blazers. He was even able to participate in a little of Thursday's morning shootaround before declaring himself out. "Our trainer told me it wasn't a serious injury and the doctors didn't see anything major," Shaw said. It sounds like Chandler has a chance to return for Saturday's game at Portland. If he can't, talented Frenchman Evan Fournier projects to get another start.

Wilson Chandler out Thursday w/ sprained knee | 02/27/2014 2:19 PM

News

Wilson Chandler will not play on Thursday due to a sprained right knee.

Aaron J. Lopez on Twitter

Impact

It's unclear exactly when he hurt himself but this could explain Chandler's 3-of-12 shooting performance on Tuesday. Quincy Miller is the most likely candidate to take his spot in the starting lineup. The Nuggets finish their week with a road game in Portland on Saturday, for which Chandler should be considered questionable.

Wilson Chandler hits 3-of-12 shots in loss | 02/26/2014 12:12 AM

News

Wilson Chandler hit just 3-of-12 shots for seven points, eight rebounds and a 3-pointer in Tuesday's loss to the Blazers.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Chandler is in a bad funk right now, scoring seven or fewer points in three straight games, hitting just 7-of-25 shots over that stretch. He'll break out of the slump at some point, but can't seem to find his shot right now.

Wilson Chandler turns in efficient line | 02/20/2014 11:28 PM

News

Wilson Chandler made 6-of-8 from the field for 15 points during Thursday's win at Milwaukee to go with six boards, one assist and three 3-pointers.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Outside of some sub-par shooting, Chandler is in a groove over his last five games with averages of 15.8 points, 5.4 boards, 2.2 assists, 0.2 blocks and 3.4 treys in 32.4 minutes. He should have no problem putting up mid-round value as long as he's able to stay healthy and improve his shooting just a tad.

Wilson Chandler will play shooting guard | 02/12/2014 7:14 PM

News

Wilson Chandler will slide over to shooting guard against the Wolves on Wednesday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He's started at shooting guard previously in his career and the Nuggets kind of had to do something after their embarrassing loss on Monday. The Nuggets have used their starting lineup of Chandler, Randy Foye, Darrell Arthur, J.J. Hickson and Kenneth Faried for just six minutes this month, so it's a bit foreign to them. Chandler's fantasy value shouldn't change much and he remains a must-start player in standard leagues.

Wilson Chandler scores 24 in win | 02/06/2014 2:46 AM

News

Wilson Chandler hit 11-of-19 shots and a 3-pointer for 24 points, three rebounds, one assist and a block in Wednesday's win.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He had been quiet over his previous three games, but bounced back against the Bucks. He's getting well over 30 minutes a night and now that his slump might be over, look for Chandler to start putting up big numbers again. He hasn't been stealing the ball, but has hit nine 3-pointers over his last five games.

Wilson Chandler has a rare bad game | 01/30/2014 12:16 AM

News

Wilson Chandler had a rare bad game against the Bobcats on Wednesday with nine points, five boards, three assists and two 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Over his previous six games, Chandler averaged 18.7 points, 5.0 boards, 2.5 assists, 0.3 steals and 3.0 triples, so there's nothing to worry about with this dud. He's worth owning in all leagues with the Nuggets shorthanded in the forward department on the season.

Wilson Chandler scores 25 points in win | 01/26/2014 12:54 AM

News

Wilson Chandler scored a game-high 25 points in Saturday's 109-96 win over the Pacers, while adding six boards, three assists and four 3-pointers in 34 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

It didn't take long for Chandler to get over his hip injury. After one quiet game, he averaged 21.0 points, 5.4 boards, 1.0 blocks, 0.4 steals and 3.2 triples per game in 36.2 minutes over his last five. Chandler should be owned in all leagues and it's not a bad idea to consider him a sell-high option based on his injury history.

Wilson Chandler scores 18 points vs. Blazers | 01/24/2014 1:26 AM

News

Wilson Chandler played 33 minutes against the Blazers on Thursday with 18 points, three boards, one block, one steal and one 3-pointer on 7-of-11 shooting.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He's really come on strong since returning from his hip injury on Jan. 13. Over his last five, Chandler averaged 18.4 points, 5.2 boards, 1.2 assists, 1.0 blocks, 0.6 steals and 2.8 triples. He's worth starting in all leagues as long as he's active, but he does carry some risk for his propensity to get hurt.

Wilson Chandler gets some rest on Wednesday | 01/22/2014 3:16 PM

News

Wilson Chandler did not practice on Wednesday due to rest.

Nuggets on Twitter

Impact

He will play against the Blazers on Thursday and there is no word of an injury. Chandler has missed significant time with a hamstring problem in November and a hip issue this month, but he's put up terrific numbers while he's active. He should be owned in all leagues.

Wilson Chandler scores season-high 23 points | 01/18/2014 12:56 AM

News

Wilson Chandler scored a season-high 23 points against the Cavs on Friday with four boards, four assists, one steal and five 3-pointers in 35 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

It's safe to say he's over his hip injury after a 22-point game on Wednesday. He's shooting 41 percent from beyond the arc in 2014 while making 2.5 treys per night. Chandler can really fill it up and was on a tear before his hip injury, so fantasy owners should make sure he's not sitting around on any waiver wires.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He was back in the starting lineup tonight and came through in a big way, despite the poor shooting. And now that his hip injury is behind him and he's starting again, he should be in all lineups going forward.

This is the same hip which required surgery earlier in his career and he should be considered questionable for Saturday's game vs. the Magic. Chandler was really heating up over the past month, so his owners should just keep him benched for now.

Wilson Chandler (strained left hip) has been downgraded to doubtful for Thursday's game.

Denver Nuggets on Twitter

Impact

Nate Robinson (ankle) remains a game-time decision. Presumably Chandler's precautionary MRI came back negative, since we haven't heard any dire news, but the Nuggets may have to do without him vs. the Thunder. If he is out there will be more playing time available for Darrell Arthur, Jordan Hamilton and Evan Fournier, among others.

Wilson Chandler (groin) and Nate Robinson (ankle) are both game-time decisions for Thursday's game vs. the Thunder.

Chris Dempsey on Twitter

Impact

Chandler is expected to have a precautionary MRI on his groin today, but the team has yet to release any results. He has been injury prone due primarily to injuries to his left leg, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get some rest on Thursday. If he can't go, the Nuggets might have to go with more three-guard lineups, making Randy Foye an interesting pickup.

Wilson Chandler (groin strain) will get MRI | 01/08/2014 12:26 AM

News

Wilson Chandler suffered a left groin strain on Tuesday and will have an MRI on Wednesday.

Chris Dempsey on Twitter

Impact

His left leg has given him quite a few problems in his career. He had left hip surgery back in 2012 and his left hamstring kept him out of action to start the year. There's a good chance Chandler could miss time, so the Nuggets are going to be very thin at small forward. Jordan Hamilton has been demoted in a big way, so they might go with a three-guard lineup more often with guys like Randy Foye and Nate Robinson. Based on Foye's outstanding Tuesday of 23 points, he's worth a long look in standard leagues.

Wilson Chandler scores 17 points vs. Lakers | 01/06/2014 12:36 AM

Wilson Chandler shot 6-of-10 from the field for 17 points against the Lakers on Sunday with one board, one assist, two steals and three 3-pointers in 26 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He snapped an 11-game streak of scoring at least 13 points with an eight-point dud on Friday and has really been cruising. Over his previous 12, Chandler averaged 15.7 points, 5.0 boards, 1.1 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.2 triples on 41.2 percent shooting, so he's made it more than clear he should be owned in all leagues.

Wilson Chandler scored just eight points on 3-of-10 shooting with four rebounds, two triples, one assist and one steal in 31 minutes on Friday.

Impact

Chandler was quiet tonight but has been a mid-to-late round value over the past two weeks, so owners should hang on after this less-than-spectacular night.

Wilson Chandler had 16 points, seven rebounds, two assists, three steals, a block and four 3-pointers on 5-of-13 shooting.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He didn't shoot it particularly well, but has been playing at a pretty high level, despite the struggles of the Nuggets, who have now lost eight straight. After a slow start to the season, Chandler is averaging 16.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.4 3-pointers over his last five games, but is shooting just 37 percent. As usual, If his shot starts falling, look out. He's shooting just 42 percent on the season.

This is the type of line we were expecting from Chandler for most of the season, and he's finally getting healthy. He's scored 17 in two straight and is coming on, averaging 12.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 1.8 3-pointers over his last five games. Make sure he's not available in your league and get him in your lineup if you own him.

Shaw wants Wilson Chandler to shoot more | 12/13/2013 11:42 AM

Brian Shaw has given Wilson Chandler the green light to shoot.

Denver Post

Impact

Shaw told Chandler before Monday's game vs. the Wizards, "If they give you any space out there on the floor, I want you to shoot the ball." which resulted in Chandler going for 17 points and eight boards, with one assist, two blocks, and three 3-pointers in 35 minutes. Chandler is a guy that can really fill the stat sheet, and with the confidence of his coach, and no Danilo Gallinari around (no timetable for return) Chandler's ceiling is very high.

Impact

It's been a bumpy ride for Chandler in the scoring department, but he's still had some solid production with season averages of 1.1 steals, 4.2 boards and 1.4 triples. He can fill the stat sheet and won't have much competition for minutes until Danilo Gallinari comes back from his knee rehab. Gallo has no timetable for return.

Wilson Chandler still quiet vs. 76ers defense | 12/07/2013 9:50 PM

News

Wilson Chandler returned to double-digit scoring in Saturday's road win in Philly, finishing with 10 points, two 3-pointers and four rebounds in 26 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Chandler has kept his fantasy value afloat by averaging 1.4 triples, 4.2 boards, 1.2 steals and 0.5 blocks in 28 minutes per game this season, but overall he's been a mild disappointment as the Nuggets' unquestioned starting SF. His usage rate of 16.5 is also the lowest of his career, yet despite the poor stats he's still been a low-end value in eight- and nine-cat leagues.

Wilson Chandler scores just seven points | 12/06/2013 11:50 PM

News

Wilson Chandler scored seven points with eight boards, one assist and one turnover on 2-of-7 shooting in 33 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He hasn't really busted out in the scoring department and has cooled off in general this month. In his three previous games, Chandler averaged 8.3 points, 5.3 boards, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.3 triples in 30.0 minutes. It would be encouraging to see him score more, but the production in steals, blocks and threes should give him enough value in standard leagues regardless of scoring output.

Wilson Chandler hit 6-of-10 shots for 14 points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in 32 minutes of Wednesday's nice win over the Wolves.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Look, he's off to a slow start after returning from a hamstring injury, but these last several games have basically been his training camp. He's getting more comfortable, staying healthy and could easily be on the verge of breaking out. We were high on him in the draft guide as Danilo Gallinari's stand in, and it makes sense that he's about ready to make it happen.

Wilson Chandler gets 19 minutes | 11/26/2013 1:25 AM

News

Wilson Chandler played just 19 minutes against the Mavericks on Monday, scoring 11 points with one board, one assist, one steal and one 3-pointer.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He got himself into foul trouble, but coach Brian Shaw didn't play him at all in the fourth quarter. Jordan Hamilton had another good game with 11 points in 18 minutes and picked up most of the slack. Chandler played at least 27 in each of his previous four games, so his owners shouldn't be pushing the panic button yet. Hamilton is only worth a look in very deep leagues even though he turned in a 17-point game on Thursday.

Wilson Chandler gets some shots on Saturday | 11/24/2013 1:20 AM

News

Wilson Chandler shot 4-of-15 from the field for 10 points with four boards, three assists, one steal, two blocks and one 3-pointer in 21 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

He laid a goose egg in scoring on Thursday night and only took two shots, so at least he was involved tonight. Tonight serves as just another example of how Chandler can contribute defense to make a horrible night a little easier to swallow for fantasy owners. He'll get a chance to redeem himself against the Mavericks on Monday.

Wilson Chandler doesn't get involved in win | 11/22/2013 1:41 AM

News

Wilson Chandler missed both of his shots from the field on Thursday, failing to score with three boards, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

The Nuggets just didn't get him the ball tonight. He was great on defense, so maybe that was the plan to have him exert his energy on that end. Chandler ranked fifth in the NBA in catch-and-shoot triples before this game and is a regular contributor with defensive stats, so he should get a pass here. He should be owned in all leagues.

Wilson Chandler plays 32 minutes in loss | 11/19/2013 12:07 AM

Wilson Chandler played a season-high 32 minutes against the Thunder on Monday, shooting 3-of-12 from the field for eight points with three boards, two assists, two steals, two blocks and one 3-pointer on 3-of-12 shooting.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

It's his worst offensive game, but the blocks and steals serve as a reminder of the kind of upside Chandler has in the starting unit. He averaged at least 0.7 steals per game in every season since his rookie year back in 2007-08 and has averaged 0.8 blocks per game in his career. His owners should keep him active and hope his hamstring issues don't pop up again.

Wilson Chandler will start at SF vs. the Thunder on Monday, according to coach Brian Shaw.

This was inevitable considering Jordan Hamilton's uninspiring play in seven starts this season, and Chandler is officially a must-own fantasy player. He's averaging 15.0 points, 3.0 triples, 4.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in just 24 minutes off the bench, and could post some gaudy lines with a starting job and a green-light to shoot.

Wilson Chandler played 29 minutes and had 14 points, three rebounds, one assist, two 3-pointers and five turnovers on 5-of-10 shooting on Saturday.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

The minutes are the key here, as Chandler knocks of the rust that's a result of an early hamstring injury. As long as he doesn't suffer a setback, his numbers should get better as the season progresses. He's nearly a must-own player until Danilo Gallinari is back from knee surgery.

Wilson Chandler didn't slow down in his second game of the season on Friday with 19 points, four boards, three assists, two steals, and two 3-pointers in 22 minutes.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

It's somewhat remarkable that Chandler could rack up these stats in only 22 minutes. The Nuggets really need some scoring on the wing and they're ranked just 24th in field goal percentage. Chandler has plenty of injury concerns, but he has to be owned in all leagues while he's active.

Wilson Chandler finally made his season debut on Wednesday and hit 4-of-11 shots (all 3-pointers) for 12 points, five rebounds and two steals in a win over the Lakers.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

It seems like it took Chandler forever to return from his hamstring injury, but he's finally back and looked good tonight, despite some rust. If he's available in your league, think about grabbing him, as he should get a ton of minutes until Danilo Gallinari returns from knee surgery, as long as he can stay healthy.

Shaw added that it wasn't up to him, which is an interesting wrinkle insinuating that either the team (or more likely) the player's camp made the call.

Wilson Chandler (hamstring) will come off the bench in Monday's game against the Jazz.

Chris Dempsey on Twitter

It will be his season debut and he's been limited by this injury since Oct. 2. Chandler has his role as the starting small forward spot waiting for him with the Nuggets forced to play guys like Jordan Hamilton, but it's not going to happen overnight. While Hamilton has been effective in the past couple games, Chandler should be able to get all the minutes he can handle once the time comes. The former Knick's conditioning issues and the fear of an aggravation figure to be the biggest roadblocks. He needs to be owned in all leagues, but he's not a must-start player until the team has confidence he can play enough minutes.

This is good news and supports Wednesday's timetable of Chandler hoping to play on Monday night. He's been dealing with a hamstring strain for over a month now, so there's a good chance the Nuggets ease him back into his awaiting starting role. There is a big chance to produce for a team that hasn't hit its stride on offense yet, so he should be picked up wherever available.

Wilson Chandler (hamstring) said that he's hoping to play in Monday's game against the Jazz.

Nuggets on Twitter

His timetable has been bumped back numerous times over the course of the past month, so he's not quite a lock to suit up for that game. This also suggests that Chandler won't be playing Thursday against the Hawks or Friday at Phoenix.

Anthony Randolph, Jordan Hamilton and Quincy Miller have been a patchwork group filling in at small forward during the preseason. As strange as it is to say, Ant-Rand looks to have the most value of the three.

Wilson Chandler said on Thursday that he is still feeling tightness in his hamstring.

Chris Dempsey on Twitter

Impact

He can't shake this hamstring strain and it's kept him sidelined for most of training camp. The Nuggets have been using a patchwork group of Anthony Randolph, Jordan Hamilton and Quincy Miller to get most of the minutes at small forward, but none are worth drafting.

Not good. He's been dealing with his left hamstring injury for almost all of camp and the team has yet to play him in a preseason game. Chandler always seems to be bothered by something, so while he does have nice upside, the injury red flag is in plain sight. The Nuggets have been playing Anthony Randolph at small forward here and there this preseason, so there's that. Quincy Miller has received some praise from coach Brian Shaw and might be a bigger part of the rotation should Chandler need to miss time.

The entire Nuggets organization have been high on Chandler this offseason, and Shaw has made it clear that he intends to play Wilson at the two spot when Danilo Gallinari (knee) returns.

This is standard fare at this time of the year so he'll need to miss more time before we flinch. Early in the season while Danilo Gallinari (knee) is out, Chandler profiles as a mid-round value. From there, he projects as a late round value for the rest of the season.

Wilson Chandler is slated to open the 2013/14 season as a starter with Danilo Gallinari (torn ACL) sidelined.

Denver Post

Impact

Chandler averaged 18.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 2.3 3-pointers on 52.5 percent shooting over eight games as a starter this season, so his fantasy outlook would be boosted mightily if he is named the starter. Gallinari is not expected to return until January or even possibly February of 2014, giving Chandler plenty of time to thrive in a starter's role. Fantasy owners can't forget about Chandler, who could be a steal of a value pick on draft day.
